IS THERE kHY HOPE 2:
NEW AED IMPORTANT OPINIONS E, OF PULMONARY EXPERTS l
Can the Universal Consumption bs
 Successfully Treatsd1

Dr. Borgoon, leading French doctor, has new treatment for consump ion.
 He pIves an enema of carbonic acid sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs.
 This treatment, too, is directed al efects--the cause remains undisturbed.
 What this caus eis has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority In the world, |. c., the Brompton Hos. pital for Consumptiyes, in London, Eng.
 This malady every year carries off from one-seventh to one-tifth of the entire population of England!
 Dr. Payne, MD, M.R.C.P., London, is authority Tor this statement.
 The same or greater proportion of deaths obtains in America.
 Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from ali other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to developl
 Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent German authority, says that consump- tion is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood.
 These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric. acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood
 Every particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goes through the kidneys, and il they are in tie least deranged they cannot rid the blood ot its Killing poison. The thousand httie hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; and when they do, they corrupt instead of purifying the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because II is deficient in nerves of sensation.
 Dip your finger in acil every day and it soon testers and is destroyed. send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way.
 The Brompton Hospital investigation tshowed that 52 per cent. of the victims of consumption Were afflicted with de. nsed kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and 'irritate the lungs. This uric acid ia als ways lighting every vital organ, and il there be any inherent weakness in the >lunes 1t inevitably causes pneumonia, cough and com ulnption.
 The real canse Of pulmonary troubles beIng so autnorltatiyeiy shown to be iaulty even thous h uhsuepected action of the kldnoy5, explains why, in or,ier to master the dr aded coilsumpton, one must rld tue blood ol the use acid irri- Mnt WhIcA tnaames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose tbere IS nothing equal 10 that great specific, Warner's sale cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men all over the world purely on it's merits. We have no doubt that ii the kidneys are kept in natural action, consumption and a great many other diseases, caused by uric soid. Will not oEly be cured but will Do Ore. YenJed.
 When th5 Kidney is healthy, no aibu. men appears in the water, but alhumen Is found Tn tue water oi more than half oi those who die of consumption!
 This, then, is the condition of thinps that always precedes consurc 3tion: First, weakened kidneys; second, re- tslned uric acid, poisoning the blood; third, the development of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Then there is a little cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow ~.'S* ss oPie uPJ iOhoNSu uy lOnS OL flesh and stIength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient goes to his school physician for help, he is put on cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak, ened also by uric acid in the blood, can, not digest. Because there is no pain present in the kidneys, the patient doeS not think they are affected, but the kid ney acid is doing its work every minute avery lQnr dav and nithf on,l Inc disease of the lungs has advanced until pus is developed, then come hemoy images, and at last the glassy stare whicA denotes that the end Is near,
 A post-mortem examination of such :ases shows that the terrible uric acid has completely destroyed the substancs of the lung.
 It is impossible to cure lung disea&s when the blood is poisoned with uric ,cid.
